The Post Office and the corner of Borough Road are recognisable. The electronics shop where I bought my first transistor radio in 1962 is, of course, gone.

My grandparents lived over and ran a petfood store at 38 Poulton Road, a block away and known as 'The Spot Shop' for reasons lost to history. Fancy glass canopy for the pedestrians from an earlier age. Unsafe to scale to clean to windows above it even in the 1950s. According to Google it is now a charity shop. Across the road was Igoe's grocer's shop with the proud and silly slogan

I can confirm Google been accurate yes 38 Poulton rd is a charty shop.



Funny enough electronic shop was there untill 14 years ago,my father in law took me there to buy my hand held radio to listen SW transmissions..14 years ago,no internet,no satellite only way was listening voice of Turkey on SW..

I haven't got into gepps more than 12 yeras now...Those days owner a old guy was running,he was really good sale person,a bit pushy but always try to find in his store what you are looking for.
